Vacuum Cleaner - Tuya integration services missing

The problem

LIECTROUX XR500 Robot Vacuum Cleaner (compatible with Tuya). Already performed all the integration with App Tuya and Tuya IoT Platform. So far all ok. I can control the robot through HA by the custom cards, but with some limitations.

The “>” (Start) or “START CLEANING” button on the Entity Card has no effect. Log: [homeassistant.components.tuya.base] Sending commands for device xxxxxxxx: [{‘code’: <DPCode.POWER_GO: ‘power_go’>, ‘value’: True}] No errors, no actions

“Pause”, “Stop”, “Locate” and “Return Home” are OK.

The only way to start the cleanup is to toggle the “Smart” option of “select.liectroux_xr500_mode” in the “Entity Card”. Log: DEBUG (SyncWorker_6) [homeassistant.components.tuya.base] Sending commands for device xxxxx: [{‘code’: <DPCode.MODE: ‘mode’>, ‘value’: ‘smart’}] Its OK. Start Smart Cleaning

I would just like to create an automation that starts cleaning at dawn (it’s an office).

The need to set the mode before executing the start command is unique to the device, but you can use services to set this in your automations.

Currently, you can perform this automation through the Select: Select (select.select_option) service.

service: select.select_option
data:
  option: smart
target:
  entity_id: select.liectroux_xr500_mode

As of the next version, you can use the Vacuum: Send command (vacuum.send_command) service to perform these automations.

service: vacuum.send_command
data:
  command: mode
  params: smart
target:
  device_id: 232f438ca4b84f18cc9ccd40f4e7ec9b

Hello! This is a bug with the software on the vacuum itself, normally the devices will switch to the correct cleaning mode upon being started.

I created a blueprint that you can add here: Tuya - Vacuum Start Action Fix, with this blueprint applied, you can use the start action normally in the UI and the blueprint will change the mode automatically.

Hope it helps!
